  • Printing Trends in Board & Card Games
    Printing Trends in Board & Card Games Jessica Lee Riddell Graphic Communication Department | College of Liberal Arts | California Polytechnic State University June 2013 Abstract The board and card game industry are facing growing pressures from digital games, as video and social media games become more prevalent. Emerging print and media technologies, namely printed electronics and augmented reality, could provide a board and card gaming experience that would draw in gamers who typically play digital games. The expected outcomes of the literature research, industry and market surveys, and subsequent paper are an understanding of the history of games, the current state of the game manufacturing and publishing industry, and attitudes of gamers who would be playing games embedded with the emerging technologies.

  • Elasund Reglas De Juego
    Elasund Reglas de juego Traducido al castellano por Fran F G ([email protected]) a partir de las reglas originales en inglés Versión 1.1 - Julio de 2006 Han pasado varios años desde que unos valientes navegantes descubrieron y colonizaron la isla de Catán y desde entonces la población ha crecido significativamente. Se han construido asentamientos por toda la isla y en la costa, y el comercio entre ellos se ha vuelto indispensable. Catán necesita un lugar donde centralizar el comercio, así que los Cataneses han decidido construir su primera ciudad. La ciudad ideal debería tener un puerto, casas para los obreros y mercaderes, almacenes, tabernas y una gran iglesia en el centro. La llaman “Elasund”, como su ciudad de origen en su tierra natal. COMPONENTES • 1 reglamento • 1 tablero • 44 piezas de madera - 40 cubos de puntos de victoria - 4 discos en 4 colores • 2 dados • 1 barco mercante • 9 fichas de iglesia • 36 fichas de muralla de la ciudad, 9 en cada color • 37 edificios - 16 edificios en los colores de los jugadores - 21 edificios neutrales • 90 cartas - 51 cartas de oro - 39 cartas de influencia • 2 puertas de la ciudad • 4 resúmenes de turno en los 4 colores de los jugadores • 20 permisos de construcción en 4 colores PREPARATIVOS En el tablero se muestra el emplazamiento de la futura ciudad de Elasund. La mayor parte del tablero es una zona vacía, disponible para construir. Esta zona está rodeada por tres de sus lados por las casillas para construir la muralla de la ciudad, y por el cuarto por el mar.

I encourage you to discuss ideas with other students but your work product should solely be your own. When a written response is appropriate, note that scholarly writing includes citations to primary sources, terse style, appropriate vocabulary and tone, and proper English style. The writing center and my office hours are great resources to improve your writing. “Read” and “Play” material has no specific deadline, but should be done close to that day so that we have a common base for discussion. For games, spend at least two hours in actual gameplay, and try to play with other students in the class. Having played a game (i.e., a social and intellectual activity) with someone will help you to know if you can work together effectively on a project. Unless explicitly noted, you are welcome to play a game on a different (equivalent) platform or with your own copy instead of using the library resource. If you make a reasonable attempt to play a game and it is not available, then you can substitute a different game listed on the course web page.

  • Elasund Kosmos, 2005 Klaus TEUBER 2 - 4 Spelers Vanaf 10 Jaar ± 90 Minuten
    Elasund Kosmos, 2005 Klaus TEUBER 2 - 4 spelers vanaf 10 jaar ± 90 minuten Onverschrokken zeevaarders hebben Catan ontdekt en nadien gekoloniseerd. In de jaren die daarop volgden, groeide de bevolking gestaag aan. Zowel in het binnenland als aan de kusten ontstonden nieuwe nederzettingen. De ruil van goederen tussen de afzonderlijke regio's werd enorm belangrijk en de noodzaak tot het oprichten van een centrale handelsplaats drong zich op. Dit moest een plaats zijn met een haven, met huizen voor handwerkers en handelaars, met een handelskantoor en een herberg en een grote kerk in het midden. En zo werd door de Cataner de eerste stad gesticht. Ze noemden hun stad naar de plaats van het geboorteland van waaruit hun voorouders waren vertrokken: Elasund. Spelmateriaal ¯ 1 speelbord ¯ 1 handleiding ¯ 40 zegepuntstenen en 4 telstenen in 4 kleuren ¯ 1 handelsschip ¯ 2 dobbelstenen ¯ 37 gebouwen 16 gebouwen in de spelerskleuren en 21 neutrale gebouwen ¯ 9 kerkkaartjes ¯ 36 stadsmuurdelen telkens 9 in elke spelerskleur ¯ 90 speelkaarten 51 goudkaarten en 39 machtkaarten ¯ 2 stadstorens ¯ 4 overzichtskaarten in 4 kleuren ¯ 20 bouwvergunningen in 4 kleuren © Herman BELLEKENS ELASUND - 2 / 16 - www.forumfederatie.be Spelvoorbereiding Het speelbord toont de onbebouwde plattegrond van Elasund omgeven door de zee en de bouwplaatsen van de stadsmuren. Tevens vinden we de bouwput voor de kerk in het midden van het speelbord. Het bouwoppervlak bepalen Het bebouwbare oppervlak van Elasund is afhankelijk van het aantal spelers en wordt met behulp van de beide stadstorens vastgelegd. In een spel met 2 spelers worden de beide stadstorens op de bouwplaats van de stadsmuur 2 gelegd (witte pijl), in een spel met 3 spelers op de bouwplaats 3 (grijze pijl) en in een spel met 4 spelers op de bouwplaats 4 (zwarte pijl).
